Both #Spain and #Japan have agreed to give $30M each to #Haiti reconstruction fund.
2011-02-28 22:15:41Radio Caraibes just mentioned #MiamiHerald article about #carnival in #Haiti and debate over morality and money. Can Haiti afford debauchery
2011-02-28 22:29:36At INDEPCO factory where workers are making beaded bags, and sewing uniforms. #haiti http://yfrog.com/h4w7mnaj
2011-02-28 22:37:12IDB pdt Luis Moreno is visiting an enterprise that trains #Haitians in sewing. Owner Hans Garoute was recently honored by #Digicel
2011-02-28 22:40:08INDECPO is a training center that teaches #Haitians throughout the country tailoring/sewing in PAP and in rural #Haiti.
2011-02-28 22:43:26After 17 years of teaching #Haitians sewing, INDEPCO just recently received its first pvt sector contract including 52,000 uniforms. #Haiti
2011-02-28 22:47:12Among the people who take advantage of INDEPCO's services are a number of local #Haitian designers who make beaded bags, and dresses #Haiti
2011-02-28 22:48:57If you have a uniquely custom designed #Haitian bag or outfit, most likely it was produced at INDEPCO where designers turn to for production
2011-02-28 22:55:14Hans Garoute, founder of INDEPCO, says he was "very touched" by becoming #Digicel Entrepreneur of the Year this year. #Haiti
2011-02-28 22:57:20IDB Moreno asking INDEPCO how it controls quality when it has to hire addtl 10,000 workers throughout #Haiti when it has big contracts.
2011-02-28 22:59:00INDEPCO's Garoute says despite success, there are a lot of weaknesses. "This is a volunteer mission I'm doing," he said. #Haiti
2011-02-28 23:00:57Garoute says "very little" of what INDEPCO does today is exported. Says key to advancing is a govt that works w/his vision. #Haiti
2011-02-28 23:02:41Garoute says beaded bags #USAID contract was "a coup" he won from the "imports." Imported raw materials and assembled bags in #Haiti
2011-02-28 23:04:55Among the contracts INDEPCO has is a #Haiti govt contract for 52,000 school uniforms. They have to be sewn on industrial sewing machines.
2011-02-28 23:06:10An industrial machine costs $5,000 each. They are hard to come by rural #Haiti
2011-02-28 23:07:06Luis Moreno of #IDB says he paid his way thru college by making karate uniforms in Colombia. #haiti
2011-02-28 23:08:12Despite govt uniform contract and employing #Haitians countrywide, INDEPCO has not had much #Haitian govt support, Garoute says.
2011-02-28 23:10:20#IDB Luis Moreno says "#Haiti will be a low-cost producer for some time but not indefinitely." Think about niche market, he tells INDEPCO
2011-02-28 23:13:23Among the challenges at INDEPCO is a good cutting table. Damaged in #quake. Uneven, cutting around problems. Pattern paper also gone. #haiti
2011-02-28 23:15:30A cutting edge cutting machine, pattern system costs $125,000. Most factories in #Miami have it, but none exists in #Haiti, INDEPCO says.
2011-02-28 23:18:15Very little intimate wear being sewn in #Haiti. It used to be plentifuln INDEPCO's consulantant tells IDB. #haiti
